Dayton 2N946 HVAC control 1 1/2 HP 182/4 Frame 230/460V

SKU CH-X7X6-CQ6KV

Three-phase general-purpose motor delivers 1 1/2 HP at 3455 RPM with 230/460 V dual-voltage operation and 84 % nominal efficiency

  • 84% nominal efficiency cuts energy waste
  • Dual 230/460V voltage fits existing three-phase supply
  • 15 service factor handles peak loads
  • 40 °C max ambient suits harsh environments
  • 3455 RPM nameplate speed matches fan curves

Motor Specification

The Dayton 2N946 is a three-phase general-purpose motor rated at 1 1/2 HP for industrial and commercial HVAC applications. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz with a nameplate speed of 3455 RPM. The unit features a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure and a rigid base mounting design.

Dual-Voltage Flexibility

The motor accepts both 230V and 460V three-phase supply, drawing 3.9 amps at the lower voltage and 1.9 amps at the higher voltage. This dual-voltage capability allows installation in facilities with either standard industrial voltage level without rewinding or replacement.

Frame And Duty Integration

The 182/4 frame size with steel construction fits standard NEMA mounting patterns for direct coupling or belt-driven equipment. Continuous duty rating and Class F insulation support sustained operation in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. Ball bearings and 1.15 service factor provide durability for fan, pump, and compressor loads.

Questions about this item

How does the 3455 RPM nameplate speed translate when the motor is loaded in an HVAC system?

At full load the motor runs near its 3455 RPM nameplate rating, delivering 1 1/2 HP continuously on a 60 Hz supply.

What does the 230/460 V dual-voltage rating mean for wiring and starter selection?

The motor can be wired for either 230 V or 460 V three-phase; full-load current is 3.9 A at 230 V and 1.9 A at 460 V, so size contactors and overloads accordingly.

Will the 182/4 frame with rigid base bolt directly to our existing mounting pattern?

Yes — the NEMA 182/4 frame dimensions and rigid steel base match standard foot-mount patterns for that frame size.
